?A ruling in the UK Patents County Court this month has deemed it unlawful to copy ?a substantial part [of] a photographic work,? even where the copying article is actually a separate photo taken by a different photographer. Such were the facts in Temple Island Collections Ltd v New English Teas Ltd and Another (No. 2), where Judge Birss QC found that you don?t have to have a ?facsimile reproduction? of a photograph to be in breach of its author?s copyright. In that case, New English Teas commissioned an image for use on its tea containers, which the judge deemed was too similar to an earlier photograph the company had tried to license.?
